On my mind

We've been busy. No, seriously busy. We got home yesterday after being away two days shy of three weeks. Adoption conference, family reunion, BBQ's, picnics, shopping, family-seeing, friends-seeing, 3000+ miles in the car...we are exhausted! And in the midst of it all Miles hit the three month mark!

I promise once we're unpacked, the fridge is re-stocked and the laundry is done I'll update...cause I've got some awesome stuff to share.

But for now...it seems all I can think about is Halloween. If you've been my friend for any length of time you know of my love (read: obsession) with Halloween. While in Utah I picked up these beauties:

Goughlishly fabulous salt & pepper shakers.

Creepy set of magnetic spiders (I'm going to trail these on our fridge...a la Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets...'follow the spiders')

Since this year will be our last Halloween in the states and there is no Halloween in Italy (insert SERIOUSLY sad face here. Although there is Carnival in February...it's not the same) we've decided to go out with a bang. I've already written up menu ideas and new crafty ideas. Oh...and I've got THE. BEST. COSTUME. idea for our family. Can't wait to show you!!

So if you're near us...let this serve as official notice...you'll wanna be at our place for the Halloween bash!

You know, they say that Halloween is an American holiday. However, we found that the Brits were as crazy about it as us. My French friends do it as well. So you never know, it may have caught on in Italy!

About Me

I am a complex individual. I am bossy and impatient and to make matters worse, I have OCD.
I am married to a WONDERFUL man who loves me for who I am, no matter how crazy I get. I am blessed to be the mother of a stubborn fur cat named Winston and a trouble maker kitty named Mario.
We adopted our sweet baby Miles in May of 2011. Our daughter Amelia surprised us in March 2014, and our son Parley did the same in October 2015.

love me? hate me? follow me!

Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come.
